Defiant Chapter 11
Shoulders slouch, all Clifford can do was follow the two lively youths, as they went their merry way into the cathedral.Yet his eyes remained keen on the structures surrounding them.Within the entire town, the place stood out loud, being the only one having walls of stone.It also had an extensive garden, filled with flowering plants, vegetables, and a vineyard.What truly caught his sights were the murals and statues adoring it.It was the image of a woman with a large ring behind her, arms stretched out as if enticing someone to be in her embrace.It wouldn’t have been a cause for concern if he had not seen the sculptures and paintings.As the picture on it reminded him of the sphere, he saw in the void. And from the looks of it, the figure could be the deity of that kingdom.“What class do you think sir Clifford belongs to?”Arty couldn’t help his enthusiasm and excitement. Just imagining about it was making his insides giddy. Also, there was this sense of ease within him, knowin

The bearded man continued to mumble incessantly, praying to the statue for a clairvoyance, in order to understand the mistake during the summoning.While Clifford’s group went their merry way, as they finished what they came there for.Though not what they had expected, they remained jolly as they walked out of the room, leaving the still gawking clergy.“The hero title seems to be available to certain individuals.”This was the excuse he made up, wanting to make sure the youths would feel special. He didn’t want to take such a rank, considering it had both merits and drawbacks.Besides, he was not used to the limelight, let alone get looked up upon by kids with such promise. As he can see, they had a bright future ahead of them.He concluded it was best to stay as a supporting character, having not much interest or drive to stand out
Defiant Chapter 13
Atop the balcony on the highest part of a castle. King Brell Briskworn looks down upon his domain. The wrinkle in his eyes increasing as a smile formed on his face, seeing the number of additional houses being built.Merchants flocked from different parts of the country, along with travelers and royals. There have also been more commoners walking on the streets, filling almost every corner of the city.Their kingdom was progressing perfectly, and it was all thanks to having all twelve heroes there. It made the mass feel secured, knowing they had powerful and godlike individuals on their side.All of this provided a beneficial effect on their land. As they were gaining more popularity, along with being respected and feared.The sound of creaking double doors open broke through the peace and silence of the room. Before loud clacking foot steps continued in.Yet the royal did not falter or bother to look. Confident with the number of guards stationed inside with him.A young man, Altron

Clifford’s brows furrowed, unable to hide the dread creeping into him upon checking his system. The window has been popping up with the same message repeatedly. Especially after arriving in the third town.It showed, “Warning, entering restricted field. Proceed with caution.”And then his ‘editor’ and ‘controller’ option ends up blinking, making it impossible to be chosen, leaving him only with the choice for character, as it was the only one unaffected.A sense of foreboding took over him, understanding that there was a risk if he moved forward. The only consolation was the fact he was going farther from monster infested areas.He stops upon hearing familiar noises from afar, prompting him to listen in on the exchange that was happening. Curious about what the youths were discussing.Gathered at the gates, the heroes remain in a circle as they faced one another, still not over the incident that happened a few days ago.Bad blood seems to have worked its way into them. After the misun

Clifford was gaping in awe as he stepped into the castle halls. White marble pillars dawned on them upon stepping inside.All laced with intricately designed crimson curtains interwoven with golden linings. A red carpet set on the middle of the floor to greet them.People lined up from each side, some wearing those frilly medieval clothing, others dressed in just the same rags he was in. Yet all of them were murmuring, whispering to one another as they gave them condescending gazes.He had to swallow hard to force the uncontrolled pumping in his chest, needing to remove the lump that had formed because of it.The number of onlookers made him uncomfortable, as he was never good at being the center of attraction. But even with his heart racing, his mind remained collected, driving his legs to move on their own to follow the royal guards.“Welcome to Salemhide, sir otherworlder. I am Brell Briskworn, ruler of this magnificent land. We have been awaiting your arrival.”The king wore his b

Clifford’s eyes almost popped out upon glimpsing at the enormous coliseum before him. The place was three times bigger than the ones from his world. And to think they had better technology than these people.“This is quite the crowd for an assessment.”He was having a hard time keeping his smile as his lips continued to twitch from the buildup of tension.It caused every fiber and muscle in his entire body to tremble, having that electrocuting sensation traveling all around him.With nearly half a million people gathered there, it told him much about how the kingdom operated.They’d been preparing for this for quite some time, or there was a festival he was not aware of in that place.“But of course. Such an event demands a great audience.”King Brell gave out a haughty laugh, tapping his stomach as he cheerfully gazed at the large number of people that filled the entire stadium.This was as they had expected, making the noble’s eyes glint with such joy, knowing how much profit this w
Defiant Chapter 17
As expected, most of the participants teamed up on the second half of the contest, considering it is a free for all. And for those like Clifford, who are alone, this was a total disadvantage.He tried to converse and create a connection, hoping to at least find some allies, but most of the people there had remained aloof.This did not surprise him, since many of the contenders have become wary of him after his little show during the first part of the match. Of course, that came with a price, nearly depleting his hp.As of the moment, he remains with about only half of his life points. And even with his healing, it was taking sometime for him to recover fully.“And now. For our second event.”The announcer’s voice echoed through the coliseum, jolting all of them to their senses, as everyone’s attention shifted to the middle of the place.The earth shook, parts of it rising, forming into a giant stage. The walls followed, creating a maze like structure within the wide platform.“A free

Clifford was gasping for air on one knee, and his left eye twitching from the blood trickling from his forehead.Eight knights surrounded him from all sides, each having a pair as a defense and offense. They circled around him, moving counterclockwise, snickering as they moved.This was the exact scenario he was avoiding all this time. He can’t help but chuckle, finding it hilarious that he was thinking some unknown force was toying with him.Thankfully, his two companions were holding their own against their opponents, providing him with enough back up.“Sir otherworlder, are you all right?”Galford noticed how the man was being overwhelmed. Though they wished to help, they were barely putting up a fight.They weren’t just outnumbered, the difference in their level and skill were unmatched.“I’m fine! Can you go ahead without me?”Clifford was having second thoughts to increase the percentage of his attack. After his gaze had wandered around, he’d assessed the entire place was going

Clifford reviewed the information of the person chasing after him. After one glance with his retrieved left eye, he gathered some basic information about his pursuer.Name: Erol FlintLvl: 66Job: Captain of the 12 creese.Affiliation: The temple of the light.These were the basic information he viewed, disregarding the other information as he didn’t have the luxury to read the remaining information, being too occupied in outrunning him.“There’s no escape, darkling!”Erol’s voice echoed through the woods, gaining speed with every minute.Clifford winces, not expecting that he’d get chased that long. They’d being at it for an hour now, but the man seemed relentless.Fed up with the situation, he changed tactics; from moving in a straight line, he shifted to zig-zag movements, turning from one tree to another to lose him.“Cursed dark spawn, you won’t escape me!”Erol grunted, annoyed by the sudden change in the hooded being’s actions, along with the increase in speed. It left him with

Clifford couldn’t help his laughter, seeing how the group’s eyes nearly popped out upon hearing him say their names. Of course, he couldn’t blame them, since he deliberately hid his face behind a mask.He was about to remove it when he noticed something odd about the things they were carrying. He frowned, suddenly curious about it.“You boys have quite odd weapons.”He tilts his head, rubbing his chin as he focused on the objects. Each one had this unique aura; upon a more careful inspection, his pop-up box finally appeared, giving him much fuller details. He now did not need to use his mind’s eyes, which consumed mana.It seems his body was still having taking time to recover, after absorbing his left eye. Thankfully, he didn’t need to do much since it automatically returned to him upon getting close, along with taking out all the surrounding enemies, including the boss.“What’s wrong with it?”Jack states, his brows furrowing in confusion. Though their weapons were the kingdom’s tre

All of them were in awe, gaping in sheer astonishment at the scene happening in front of them. Just a few feet away from them, they saw the boss monster kneeling helplessly in front of a mysterious being.Though it struggled, clawed, and growled with all its might, it was helpless in front of the hooded figured wearing the poker faced mask. As the monstrosity’s form slowly shriveled, shrink, and then piece by piece of its grotesque body fell off, turning to a purplish goo.Its malevolent purple aura that was uncontrollably scattering a while ago was now getting absorbed by the mysterious figure standing in front of it; even the mist like miasma seems to be getting absorbed into the new-comer’s body.“What the hell is going on?”Marco swallowed hard, trying to fend off the creeping fear inside of him. He didn’t know what was happening, but it scared him that there was an unknown person who was more powerful than the monster they struggled to defeat.His reason, being uncertain if they

Deep within the catacombs of the temple of light, inside a large circular throne room with towering pillars, a group gathered, all of them wearing a glimmering white robe. Yet even with their shining clothing, all of them hid in the shadows of the columns surrounding the place.Their murmurs echoing through the halls, yet their figures remained still like statues adoring the entirety of the area.In far middle of the room, Beneath the sculpture of the maiden with four wings, holding a staf

Thanks to the mysterious warrior, the young heroes escape unscathed, except for their pride and ego. Each of them had this look of anger, annoyance, and defeat, aware they were no match for the enemy they faced.After reaching a good distance from danger, one of the group goes to a halt, their faces creasing in frustration and disappointment.“We can’t just leave that thing roaming around. Who knows what it could do to the nearby settlements?”Arty shouts, his voice a squeal. Still echoed through the woods, making the birds around them scatter.There was stunned silence for a few moments as each of the youngsters couldn’t look him in the eye, ashamed they failed to fulfill their duties.“I agree with Arty on this.”Marco finally step up, seeing how the others started whispering among each other. He knew what they were trying to do, considering the group became divided, four against eight, as their other two companions stayed with them, while the others were in front.“We barely made i

Every single body that was engulfed by Hallor’s light fell to the ground. All of them turned pitch black, hardened, and steaming after the youngster’s skill burst.But it didn’t take long before the burned skin of the creatures cracked, as they twitch and twisted out of their broken flesh.The two men above the mansion couldn’t help frowning, gaping in shock that the creatures remained unscathed, even after the Hallor’s attack. What’s worse, it seems that took a lot on the youngster. Though Hallor stood gallantly, he now gasp for air.“Sir Clifford, what should we do?”Galford turned to him, noticing the lad’s predicament.The skill the young-man used was something he recently received from Clifford, which would explain his sudden exhaustion from not being familiar with it.“Give me a moment.”Clifford got conflicted suddenly. Here they were, so close to retrieving his missing body part, yet they were faced with an unknown enemy, capable of taking out a group of heroes and knights.He

Hallor wanted to impress the young heroes in his own way, in hopes of gaining their favor and approval. He’d always dreamed of this moment since he was a kid. So with this in mind, he gave out a war cry while releasing more energy.Strengthened by his resolve and passion. He conjured every ounce of strength he can muster in order to keep the afflicted refugees from escaping his hold. He did not flinch, even with the amount of strain it was giving his body.He didn’t want to let this chance slip by, especially after being given a once in a lifetime opportunity. Also, he did not wish to disappoint sir Clifford, who has provided him with so much.That was why, though every fiber of his being was being torn from the large amount of mana being eaten by the spell and pushback he was getting, he remained enduring and firm.“Heroes leave this to me!”He said, forcing a smile, since he was gritting his teeth in pain.Even with his newfound power, it was impossible to hold so many enemies at on
Chapter 35
All ten additional heroes were useless against the mob of grotesque humanoids. No matter how many times they took them down, they just keep getting up. What’s worst, they were moving farther from the boss, because the number of enemies kept increasing.Both Sander and Arnold’s team were down and on their last leg and could barely hold on, and the first group consisting of Jack, Arty, Marco, Pedro, and the knight Malver still haven’t recovered yet.“This can’t be happening!”Sander now trembled before the face of the enemy.Not even with their combined strength of all their teams, added with their magical weapons, which doubled their power, were enough to win.They have never encountered a battle like this before, sure there were times they had trouble with some giant monsters, but nothing as hard as this.No matter how many they take down, all of them just keep coming back up, even stronger and more resilient than before.“Shit, this is unfair!”A beaten up Arnold groaned, having nea

Seeing the continues glitching in front of him, he can’t help but frown, having that sense of uncertainty and dread creeping into him.The message box showing error continued popping atop of every single refugee there. Also, the familiar purple aura fully engulfed each of them now.Then there’s the hooded person who released a sort of pulse, which seems to be the reason for it all. But what truly got to him was the exclamation point hovering above the person’s head.“Sir Clifford, aren’t we going to help the young heroes?”Hallor says, while keeping his gaze low in embarrassment and shame, since he understood they had already been told to wait.It amazed him how the two other men could stay calm and keep watch while all of that was happening.But seeing how the esteemed young heroes they look up to were having a hard time, along with the unknown creature wrecking havoc in the midst of all those innocent were making him itch for a fight.The lad stops when he did not get an answer from
